Baking this dish makes it even easier to enjoy with hands free cooking. You can substitute goat cheese or any soft cheese in this recipe if you aren’t a fan of salty, tangy feta. You can also use chard or kale in place of spinach if you prefer. In this recipe, I like to bake the egg, spinach, and feta mixture and then use that as filling in rolled ham slices. Alternatively, you can chop the ham and add it to the egg mixture, bake, and then slice into servings.
Herbed Feta Eggs
Ingredients
- 10 large eggs
- 4 ounces ultafiltered milk Fairlife
- 8 ounces feta cheese divided
- 8 ounces fresh spinach
- 4 ounces green onion tops or scallions
- 1 ounce fresh parsley
- ¼ teaspoon dried oregano or ½ teaspoon fresh chopped
- 12 ounces ham see notes
- Fresh tomatoes optional for serving
- Crisp bacon pieces optional for serving
Instructions
- Lightly oil a 9” by 13” rimmed sheet pan, and preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Stir in the Fairlife milk, 4 ounces of the feta cheese, the spinach, green onion, parsley, and oregano.
- Pour the egg mixture over the prepared sheet pan and bake until the eggs are just set, about 20-22 minutes. Do not overbake. Let cool slightly before cutting the eggs into rectangles.
- Lay out the slices of ham. Top each slice of ham with some of the egg mixture. Roll the ham up with the egg mixture inside and place seam side down on a serving plate.
- Crumble the remaining feta cheese on top of the rolled up ham and egg, yielding about 1 ounce of feta on top of each serving. Serve immediately with a wedge of fresh tomato or crumble of crisp bacon if desired.
- Refrigerate leftovers for up to three days. Leftovers can be served cold or warmed in a covered skillet.
Notes
For the ham, I used Boars Head Sweet Slice, which has the fewest carbs of most commercial hams. If you have this cut at the deli, you can ask them to cut it thickly enough that one slice equals one ounce of ham. The recipe assumes that your slices are approximately 1 ounce each, that you have 12 slices total. If the ham is sliced very thinly, you may want to use two slices of ham per roll. If your slices are significantly more than 1 ounce each, you can also chop the ham and add it to the egg mixture and bake it with the other ingredients. If you do this, add an ounce of crumbled feta cheese to each serving just before serving.
